General Matters

Thomo still has problems with his PC - looks like I have lost ALL data on the hard drive. That really has to piddle me off as some of it was not backed up yet (when you have no real backup device handy, hey, what are you going to do).

Hopefully matters will be returning to normal later this week.

The laptop went belly-up yesterday. Can't read the hard disk. This does, of course, make life a little difficult but hey, it wasn't meant to be easy.

If you don't see me around much for the next few days, you'll understand why.

So, a New Year. I can only hope for all of us that it is better than the year past. I do not make resolutions at New Year's (well, actually, that is a lie as I inevitably resolve not to make any New Year's Resolutions - the perfect resolution, broken as it is made).

I am not really into this blog thing yet. My daughter is much more disciplined and better at keeping a day by day description of her life. I guess when I am long dead, buried and forgotten, she will probably make a fortune publishing a "Mummy Dearest" or "Daddy Dearest" type book, full of our foibles as parents.

Anyhow, let me just here wish all a Safe, Improved New Year. I really hope that 2005 is the Year of Final Resolution of Outstanding Issues ... rather than another of the Year of Living Dangerously.
